Chelsea defender interested by Ligue 1 giants

Chelsea defender David Luiz has admitted an interest in PSG, according to the Metro.

The 26-year-old has asked his Brazilian teammates about the French club, as he is linked with a move away from the Premier League.

Luiz, who is in Brazil for the Confederations Cup, said: “I’m talking a lot about PSG and its project with Brazilian players.”

“The club made a good job in Ligue 1, and there have a very good players like Lucas Moura, Thiago Motta, Maxwell, Thiago Silva. And I don’t speak about it with others, just Brazilians.”

The defender’s future at Stamford Bridge is in doubt this summer, with reports suggesting new manager Jose Mourinho is not a fan of Luiz’s erratic style towards defending. The Portuguese manager prefers his defence to be solid and reliable, and is concerned by the 26-year-old’s attacking mindset.

The Chelsea star had been linked with a move to Barcelona, but it seems that Ligue 1 champions PSG have caught the Brazilian’s eye. Blues supporters will be concerned by his comments, after the defender became a fans favourite at Stamford Bridge.

Luiz started for Brazil in their 3-0 win over Japan in the opening match of the Confederations Cup against Japan, and is expected to feature in the nation’s next match against Mexico this evening.
